Steep delight
The 2023 Riesling Smaragd comes from a steep vineyard characterised by dry stone walls at the entrance to the town of Spitz in the Austrian Wachau region. There is a lot to rave about vintage 2023 Riesling Ried Singerriedel from Weingut Franz Hirtzberger. Stuart Pigott senior editor of James Suckling gave it 100 points. Let’s watch out for this steep delight.

Photos create visual journals of the wine world and its people. They are an abstraction from real life, yet the images look real. They recall and document foregone situations. That’s why they are a unique source of reflection & remembrance. View my growing collection of photographs from wine cellars to portraits to vinescapes.
